The Blooming
Fields is a unique nursery and garden center in rural Alberta, located
between Olds and Didsbury. It is a beautiful and serene place with a
gorgeous view of the Rocky Mountains.
In
the middle of our garden centre you find an intimate licenced
restaurant. We serve healthy lunches, mostly prepared with fruit and
vegetables from our organic garden, but our specialty is High Tea. High
Tea is an English tradition. It is originally served late in the
afternoon, but we are happy to serve you High Tea all day. For
those amongst you who have a gluten intollerance, we have a variety of
gluten free breads and desserts. You don't have to feel left-out
anymore if you are celiac. Lunch at the Blooming Fields will be a
delight for all. Our
restaurant is decorated with an unique collection of giftware. Anything
from jewelry and purses, to tea sets and garden trinkets. This comes at
very affordable prices. The Blooming Fields is an ideal place for a
girls-get-together, since it combines gardens, food and shopping, but
these days we also see a lot of men enjoying our food and our gardens. In
the last 2 years we've had several wedding ceremonies and
receptions on our grounds. The gardens and mountains are a perfect
backdrop for a romantic wedding. If you celebrate your wedding at The
Blooming Fields, you have 27 acres of paradise to create the most
magnificent wedding party ever dreamt of. This
year our U-Pick is undergoing some drastic changes. We have decided to
stop the production of strawberries. Over the last 5 years we've tried
to grow a decent crop, but it has failed to be successful. It was a
hard decision to let go of the strawberries, but we hope we can make up
for this by growing a greater variety of other fruits. Part of the
decision was our desire to move towards organic produce,which didn't
work for the strawberries at our place.Last year our veggies were
already pesticide free, this year we are moving towards pesticide free
fruit and trees. So... that's the news on our U-pick. We are very
excited to move away from working with chemicals. In the past we tried
to use chemicals as scacely as possible,in the next years we want to
eliminate chemicals at all. Pim took several classes in biological
fertilizing and pest managment, and we even went to Cuba with Organic
Alberta to learn from the farmers there. We
hope to see many of you (again) this year. Our place is an evolving
place, and we like you to see all the new and exciting things for
yourself.
